.TH bincimap 1
.SH "NAME"
bincimap \- IMAP server
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B bincimap-up [options] -- <authenticator> bincimapd <maildepot>
.B bincimap-up -- SQMAIL/bin/qmail-authuser bincimapd Maildir
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Binc IMAP is an IMAP server for Maildir type mailboxes. It is well
known for being easy to install, use and maintain.
Binc IMAP is invoked by
.B sslserver
in order to achieve TLS and/or StartTLS capabilities for the required
confidentiality.
Binc IMAP is unique because of its simple, yet powerful \fBinvocation
pipeline\fR. This simple system makes it easy to have Binc IMAP do
exactly what you want.
The \fBinvocation pipeline\fR consists of the following parts:
.TP 4
.B bincimap-up
Is a stub to start the IMAP session, configuring the service
options, calling the authenticator, and finally invoking the
.B bincimapd
server.
.TP 4
.B qmail-authuser
is the versatile PAM communicating with different user authentication
backends and setting up the required
.I USER
envrionment variable. Other PAMs, like
.B checkpassword.pl
can be used instead.
.TP 4
.B bincimapd
implements the IMAP interface to the user's
.I <maildepot>
by name which could be a
.I Maildir++
or
.I IMAPdir
structured.
